The Chippewa County Community Foundation will be holding its third annual Weekend "Wine Down" Event on Saturday, April 27.

According to the Chair Suzanne Kuusinen, "We are very excited to be offering this unique function to the community. We have been partnering with the Executive Chef and catering staff at Kewadin to provide a very special evening — an elegant and relaxing atmosphere in which to mingle with friends while enjoying savory hors d'oeuvres and decadent desserts paired with a wonderful selection of wines."

The event will also feature local music talent, The Lise White Ensemble and guest speakers Bonnie Raffaele and Emma Harrington.

The event will be held at the Sault Ste. Marie Kewadin Casino on April 27 from 6-9 p.m. in the ballroom. All proceeds from the evening will support the operations of the community foundation.

The foundation offers financial support for communities and individuals, for projects, and scholarships throughout Chippewa County. The money that is granted is earned from investments. The original donation given to a foundation remains intact in an endowment, which allows donors to establish a lasting contribution to their community.
